Week 2 3Ps
January 18th, 2022

Let’s check in where I’m at with my 2022 goals. As much as possible, I’ll try to post a weekly update. Also helps maintain commitments (and doubles as a blog post!)

6/8 Goals are Green, one is yellow, and one is red.

Good progress on (most) fronts! Stayed (mostly) on track.

Progress

  • [Triathlon] Wrapped up a training block and got some much-needed rest. Feel much stronger and fit than prior to block. Did my swim test today and saw a 14 second improvement on my critical swim speed since this training block started early December.
  • [Lose weight] Lost 3.3lbs on Slow Carb diet…technically. I travelled to Buffalo on Friday so technically didn’t get a Saturday morning weigh in. But I’ll take Friday-Friday comparison and feel excited.
  • [Lake house] Another $200 towards Lake House fund, but after Buffalo trip am trending $560 over budget this month.
  • [Crypto Project] Collaborated with team to launch first LinksDao major update. Still spending 80% of my web3 emphasis there and loving it.
  • [Crypto Project] Posted second video for my own project uiux.gg (site forthcoming), a “teardown” video (need better word, it’s too negative) of HumanDAOs onboarding.
  • [Blogging] Wrote…1 blog post. Not 5 but more than 0! Continues to be a risk. I need to get over quality and just go for quantity for a while until I build a better habit.
  • [Learn Chinese] Broke my streak during travel for Fluent Forever. NFL playoffs is serious business y’all. Back on the wagon tonight.
  • [Read future books] 23% through Ray Diallo’s The Changing World Order. Need to finish book by EOW to stay on track for my yearly goal.

Plans

  • [Triathlon] Bike FTP test on Wednesday and 20 min run pace test on Friday. Then a week off for my birthday before starting a 12-week training block leading to my first official sprint triathlon (and first of three I have planned this year).
  • [Lose weight] Keep on the four hour body baby! I technically will delay my cheat day this Saturday until next Wednesday. I have a body fat test on Tuesday and my birthday is on Wednesday so need the extra cushion.
  • [Lake House] Thinking through deploying my savings in some higher-yield APY defi staking. Need to be more aggressive here to stay on track. A
  • In the next two weeks, I’ll go to my favorite local Magic The Gathering Store and talk to the owner. He should know someone who would be willing to be a mentor (necessary step to becoming a level 1 judge)
  • [Crypto Project] Plan to invest ~20 hours/week in LinksDao for the time being.
  • [Crypto Project] Plan on releasing an onboarding “teardown” (again, need more positive word) on Thursday for FoxFam community Discord
  • [Learn Chinese] Starting a new streak tonight.
  • [Read future books] Finish The Changing World Order this week instead of turning the TV on…

Problems

  • [Blogging] I’m struggling to do this multiple times a week. It’s not that I don’t have any ideas, but investing the time to write has not been top-of-list given Triathlon, LinksDAO, and travel for Bills game.
  • [Level 1 magic judge] Made no progress here. It’s way lower on my priority list. I didn’t even PLAY magic this week because the snow made travel difficult.
